+
+~b~12,4 Web Server Notes
+
+Credit: Thanks to Roberto for the PWS config dialog,
+99.9% of the work is his.
+
+The web server setup is a graphical configuration
+for the freely available web server called
+mathopd. It's run/controlled via kSirc and
+I've some fun running it.
+
+Couple notes to remember, you cannot use ports
+< 1024. I'm not going to run anything as root,
+since running a web server is dangerous enough,
+much less giving potential root access away.
+
+/url command will show you a valid url
+for you sure. Replace <port> with the port(s)
+that the web server is running on.
+
+~b~12,4 MDI Mode
+
+Credit: Timothy Whitfield, ported the MDI interface
+from kEirc into a generic MDI interface for KDE.
+
+Now, if you want to use it, here's a bunch of
+problems I've already seen:
+
+1. Acelerator keys are all messed up. pgup/dn
+is a good example. It just doesn't work.
+
+2. If you minimize something, you have to
+double click on the channel name in the server
+controller to bring it back.
+
+3. You cannot minimize the server controller.
+
+4. You can drag windows off the screen in never
+never land.
+
+I'm personally not a big fan of the MDI interface
+but I'll work on making it work right as time permits.
+
+~b~12,4 OTHER Stuff
+
+There's been a bunch of bug fixes everywhere.
+
+Cut & paste now cleans up correctly most of the time now.
+
+New release notes box, I think it's useful. What do
+you think?
+
+Caption should be more useful now. I think this is the
+best way to display the topic on the screen.
+
+Server controller is in and needs some more work. Basic
+idea works well though.
+
+/help now displayes all possible functions, instead of just
+built in ones. Shows all kSirc commands as well.
